Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 06:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Dear Tobyc75 you uploaded this picture from Flickr as region of Ponte Tresa. But this picture shows definitively not Ponte Tresa. It is somtimes difficult to localise arial pictures. It cannot be Ponte Tresa as the Lake part of Ponte Tresa ist connected to the Lake of Lugano and the river Tresa comes out of the Lake and does not pass nearby. I shall try to find out from there this picture is. It could be Porlezza at the North of Lake Lugano! (That would also fit better, because of the Airport of Lugano in the north of Ponte Tresa international flights which do not land at Lugano cannot pass over Ponte Tresa!)

- I succeded now to localize this picture exactely: It shows celarli Mont Orfano near Verbagna, Italy, the loaclities shown on the picture are Mergozzo (45° 58' N and 8° 26' E, in front of the mountain), Feriolo (left) and Gravellona Toce (behind the mountain).DidiWeidmann (talk) 14:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

List of World Heritage Sites in Western Europe
editYou should create another map for it that excludes the British Isles. Most definitions of Northern Europe include them in the region like the UNSD definition does, so it's weird for them to be an exception for the List of World Heritage Sites when all the other regions follow that definition. Corsica should also be colored in the same color as France in that map, too, since it is part of France. Vesperius (talk) 09:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
